Great video. I don't know a lot about stucco but I guess I'm a building science nerd because I recognized your quote (If it can't dry it will die). Grew up in Delco moved to OCNJ. In Pa I think if you buy a stucco house it's customary to get a stucco inspection, seems like south Jersey not so much. What do you think of a wood sheathed building, 15lbs felt apply Hardie backer and durarock directly to it. Then I guess stucco directly to that? Like I said I don't know that much but I'm watching a project in progress. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching, and the kind words! The hardie backer sounds like an unnecessary step - stucco is usually done over wire lath in 3 coats happening over the housewrap. The flaw in this is there’s usually poorly detailed drainage. . The couple times we’ve done stucco over wood, we used a wrb called hydrogap SA (self adhered) and then a drainage plane called Slicker MAX. Both products are from Benjamin Obdyke. The slicker max is a drainage plane with a felt like layer that keeps it from clogging during stucco install
@@GreenBuildingNetwork Thanks for the reply. I am continuing to watch this project. Their job site and some of their work practices don't inspire confidence. I guess time will tell.
I believe I have a serious problem. My house was built in 1930. There is no weep screed on the house it just goes down to the ground. In 2020 I had it re-stuccoed. 5 months later after the first rain since the re-stucco showed dark staining appearing over the front of my house and 1 side of the house. I'm in Los Angeles county in California and I cant seem to find someone that has knowledge or has the moister tester that I hear about. Some come by and say paint over it. Supposed its moisture. I wish I could send you a picture.
Lol at the end of this video, "the dog in me" 🤣
Unfortunately, the Geico commercial did it first
